Hawaii 5-0 2x07 (spoilers but not very important ones)

[nessaniel]

Uhh, series, what's up with you...

At first, the episode was ok, I think, it was Halloween-themed and made good use of some of the Hawaiian myths (Night Marchers) and such. We even had some carguments of the good old kind ("Dont WOW me!!") and some adorable team moments.
But! And this is an as- huge-as-an-elephant BUT!

Danno is totally OOC.
Like badfic-OOC.

In one scene, he stampeded all over a sacred place (which was a crime scene) and although I wouldn't have minded that too much because he explained he didn't believe in this stuff and emphasized how they needed to secure the evidence. BUT THEN!!!! Then Steve asked the obvious question "What if this sacred Heiau was a church?" and Danny replies: "Yeah, I personally would care but this here is not the same."

EXCUSE ME PLEASE!??!?!? OH MY GOD HOW IMPOSSIBLY RUDE CAN A SINGLE EPISODE BE!? YES WE ARE AWARE THAT DANNO MIGHT NOT LIKE EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF THE HAWAIIAN CULTURE BUT HE WOULD NEVER EVER MAKE SUCH A DOWNRIGHT RACIST COMMENT!!! NEVER EVER DO YOU HEAR ME?! HE IS THE SENSIBLE AAAAAAND SENSITIVE PART OF THIS TEAM AND HE WOULD OF COURSE RESPECT THEIR TRADITIONS OR AT LEAST HE WOULD SAY THAT THEY ARE AS EQUALLY IMPORTANT AND JUSTIFIED AS CHRISTIANITY.

God damn it.
What angers me the most is that this huge rudeness could have been so easily avoided, as for example when Danno would have said that he didn't believe in Christianity either and that he wouldn't give a f*ck about the church.
Of course, we needed Danno for the comic relief in this episode, that is good and fine with me but then it should not go against everything the character stands for just to get some cheap laughs out of it. >____<

This is lazy writing as its best, really. Wow, H50-team, wow. You are a bunch of assholes for mistreating your characters as such. 

I am now super angry and will start preparing my presentation for tomorrow. BRR!

I want this to be true soooooo sooooooo much, but the shitty writing and stoooooopid plots are going on for seven episodes till now and I am barely able to cling to my hope for this show but I really really want it to be as good and slashy as it used to be. ;____;

So true, so sad. Danny has been OOC ever since Lori showed up, and this time they just went over the top with it.

Saying that, Steve isn't acting like his old (season 1) self either. :((( The only ones who still feel true are Chin and Kono IMO.
